Help, please! Any chances of me getting my passport stamped at the marriage interview?

[Alektra]

FRIENDS,

Whenever I am aware of my marriage interview date, and If everything goes well, what are the chances that they will stamp my passport, even though, again, I overstayed 4 years on my B2(tourist) visa before I got married? Could they still stamp it? And in my case since I overstayed, would this affect the waiting period of my Green card? I see that nowadays people receive theirs within days or a few months after the interview. Is that really possible, could that happen to me?

If not, could I ask the immigration officer about the possibilities or if there is any other way I can travel? I am scared to use just the Advance Parole and they won't let me reenter. My husband and I wanted to go on our honeymoon in Brazil!

If none of this is possible, do you know how long would I have to wait for my green card under the circumstances of my overstay situation?

At least I will be able to make other plans for my honeymoon inside the U.S.!!



THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH GUYS.

YOU HAVE BEEN GREAT!!

THANK YOU!!!

It is possible they will give you the I-551 stamp at the interview, but there is no guarantee. Most people just get a verbal OK, and then the interviewer completes other formalities and perhaps submits it for supervisor review before sending the card and approval notice a few days or weeks or months later. Your case might need review because of your long overstay. So don't count on getting the stamp in the interview, even though it is possible.

If not, could I ask the immigration officer about the possibilities or if there is any other way I can travel?

Even if they tell you it's OK to travel, don't even think about leaving the US before your green card is approved. They won't let you back in with Advance Parole, and you will be banned for 10 years.
